séjournez

Séjournez is a conjugated form of the French verb séjourner, which means to stay or to reside temporarily. It appears in two grammatical contexts: as the present indicative form for the subject vous (you stay) and as the imperative mood addressed to vous (Stay!). The imperative form Séjournez is identical in spelling to the present indicative, with context indicating the mood. For example, vous séjournez is used in a statement, while Séjournez ici is a command.

Conjugation details: present indicative endings for -er verbs give vous séjournez, while the imperative second-person plural form is Séjournez. Other principal forms of séjourner include je séjourne, tu séjournes, il/elle séjourne, nous séjournons, ils/elles séjournent. The noun séjour, meaning a stay or a sojourn, is related but distinct in function and pronunciation.

Usage and nuance: séjouner expresses staying for a period, often encountered in travel, hospitality, or formal instructions. It is common in hotel signage or travel literature to invite guests to stay, as in Séjournez chez nous. The word should not be confused with the noun séjour, which refers to the act or period of staying rather than the action itself.
